Di Gregorio / Manzi Quartet

After so many “occasional” collaborations, the first of which date back a few decades ago, Daniele DI Gregorio and Massimo Manzi, probably the most accredited protagonists of the Marches in the percussive field (both awarded, among other things, the “Furlo Award”) give life recently to a “combo” in their name. Countless, in their musical careers incisions and live collaborations, among those of Di Gregorio the names of Giorgio Gaslini and Paolo Conte stand out, among those of Manzi we mention Eddie Gomez and Renato Sellani, however their international curriculum is too vast to summarize a few lines. In the Quartet, two musicians of great artistic value stand out, the pianist Maurizio Marrani, from Perugia, and the bass player from Pesaro, Giacomo Dominici. In their repertoire alternate standards, rearranged, and original songs, the timbre of Marimba, characterizes the sound of the Quartet that moves easily both on consolidated coordinates of “modern” jazz and in parallel styles such as Latin jazz.
